In it's 7th year, Porchfest was bigger than ever! 260 bands played across 7 historic neighborhoods throughout Athens for Porchfest 2025. The trolley was back this year as well as the Indie South Vendor Market in a new location at Normaltown Brewing Company. While the rain threatened to dampen the mood this year, the sun came out just in time for this favorite community event. Check out our gallery for some highlights.
